You can use SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT to initiate SSH commands. You can run the SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT program either directly from a command line (MARC, CANDE and ODT) or by including the program in a Work Flow Language (WFL) job. Use the following command to provide input to the SSH client:
RUN SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT ("ssh [<ssh options>] [<user>]
<hostname> <command>")The SSHCLIENT program can be used by a non-privileged user, but requires the SSHCLIENTSUPPORT library to be already running.
The SSHCLIENTSUPPORT library is initiated when a privileged user runs the SSHCLIENT program or explicitly enables it with:
RUN *SYSTEM/SSHCLIENT/ADMIN ("ENABLE")The following table describes the parameters of an SSH command.
